 String description
          The description for this method.
 boolean enabled
          Whether methods on this class/method are enabled.
 boolean firstTimeOnly
          If true and the @Test method about to be run has an invocationCount > 1, this BeforeMethod will only be invoked once (before the first test invocation).
 String[] groups
          The list of groups this class/method belongs to.
 boolean inheritGroups

enabled

public abstract boolean enabled
Whether methods on this class/method are enabled.

Default:
true

groups

public abstract String[] groups
The list of groups this class/method belongs to.

Default:
{}

dependsOnGroups

public abstract String[] dependsOnGroups
The list of groups this method depends on. Every method member of one of these groups is guaranteed to have been invoked before this method. Furthermore, if any of these methods was not a SUCCESS, this test method will not be run and will be flagged as a SKIP.

Default:
{}

dependsOnMethods

public abstract String[] dependsOnMethods
The list of methods this method depends on. There is no guarantee on the order on which the methods depended upon will be run, but you are guaranteed that all these methods will be run before the test method that contains this annotation is run. Furthermore, if any of these methods was not a SUCCESS, this test method will not be run and will be flagged as a SKIP. If some of these methods have been overloaded, all the overloaded versions will be run.

Default:
{}

alwaysRun

public abstract boolean alwaysRun
For before methods (beforeSuite, beforeTest, beforeTestClass and beforeTestMethod, but not beforeGroups): If set to true, this configuration method will be run regardless of what groups it belongs to.
For after methods (afterSuite, afterClass, ...): If set to true, this configuration method will be run even if one or more methods invoked previously failed or was skipped.

Default:
false

inheritGroups

public abstract boolean inheritGroups
If true, this @Configuration method will belong to groups specified in the @Test annotation on the class (if any).

Default:
true

description

public abstract String description
The description for this method. The string used will appear in the HTML report and also on standard output if verbose >= 2.

Default:
""

firstTimeOnly

public abstract boolean firstTimeOnly
If true and the @Test method about to be run has an invocationCount > 1, this BeforeMethod will only be invoked once (before the first test invocation).

Default:
false

timeOut

public abstract long timeOut
The maximum number of milliseconds this method should take. If it hasn't returned after this time, this method will fail and it will cause test methods depending on it to be skipped.

Default:
0L
